Robert Meachem confirmed Tuesday he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery after last season.

But it won't slow him down for the next one, he says.

In late January, the Chargers wide receiver had a minor procedure performed on his right knee, the same that was surgically repaired before his 2007 rookie season.

“I'm still young, so it doesn't concern me,” Meachem said. “I'm 27. I feel great. Just taking it day by day.”

Meachem, who signed a four-year deal with the Chargers in March, said he "banged" the knee Jan. 1 during the Saints' regular-season finale against the Panthers.

He didn't miss any action, catching four passes for 111 yards and a touchdown the next week versus the Lions. He had the knee scoped in the weeks following the Saints' Jan. 14 playoff elimination.

“It kind of flared up on me over the next few games,” Meachem said.

Since tearing his meniscus in 2007, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound speedster has established himself as one of the league's most consistent downfield receiving threats.

He's missed only two games and none to injury the past four years, and his average of 16.1 yards per catch ranks 10th in the league over that span.

The Chargers began their voluntary offseason workout program last week.

Meachem has been a full participant and expects to continue the trend.

“I'm going to do everything: OTAs, minicamp," Meachem said. "I'm feeling good. I'm in a new atmosphere. I'm getting all the help I need to make sure I'm good for the next year. Pretty much everything is good right now."
